Hello and welcome to The Culture Project. Hope you all are doing well. I’ve had a great weekend. I got really lucky with a lucrative side project and my offer was finally accepted on a piece I’ve wanted for a long time. Sometimes patience pays off. There is an ongoing project from a well known name of the fx(hash) family. We will also check out an interesting AI project from one of the greats from the genre.
Lets dive in.
Presented on fx(hash)
Minted July 2022 - 256 pieces in the set.
Current Floor: 595 Tezos
This is up there with my favorite works on fx(hash). It’s a project I’ve wanted to collect from for a long time. I’ve put offers in over the last few months and finally had someone accept. I feel like I got lucky with the color scheme it has throughout. Check out the 30 second clip below to get a feel for it. You should definitely check out more of them on the site. It’s an amazing animated project.
No text to be read, only characters.

Jeres is a well known name from fx(hash) and Art Blocks. They have released some amazing abstract projects over the years. Pretty cool to see a free project by them and I really like the iterations I got. I really enjoyed the meaning and message they wrote to go along with it. It’s worth going to the Highlight site and reading.
Repetition and Noise #568
Repetition and Noise is about the nature and path of creativity.
Let’s start with a quote:
“All art is infested by other art.” — Leo Steinberg in Art About Art
Infested sounds like a dirty word but let’s try again. Let’s think about it as adding depth, history or context.
This collection is about art as a conversation and how it may repeat itself—consciously or not—adding noise to extend, contest or mutate expression as the dialogue continues.
We repeat to pay homage. We repeat to better understand. We repeat because we don’t understand at all. We repeat to make something true. We repeat to show absurdity. We repeat because it resonates. We repeat to mock. We repeat because it is our nature. We repeat because we can only express what we are filled with.
Daemonica Syntheticum by Ganbrood

Price: Ranked auction with rebate. The available supply will be distributed to the top 44 bids. Winning bidders only pay the lowest winning bid amount.
I’m not really big into AI art, but there are a few artists that I really like and follow. They have interesting styles and produce high quality results in unique ways. I haven’t been on Rodeo much lately, but I was lucky enough to pick up one of Ganbrood’s first releases on the site.
Vegetatio Luxuriat by Ganbrood
Daemonica Syntheicum is a very interesting project. At first look I took it for a sci-fi space explorations series. We tend to idolize explorers of the unknown, worshiping them in a way. This project is a study on our fascination with heroism. The art throughout this series has such an old aesthetic feel to it. It has a nice range of outputs that keeps the theme of the story throughout. I’ve very impressed by this one.
Daemonica Syntheicum by Ganbrood explores humanity’s timeless fascination with heroism. From the ancient pantheons of gods to the larger-than-life superhumans of modern comics and cinema, we have consistently sought to define and elevate figures who embody our aspirations.
In this series, Ganbrood delves into the essence of heroism, questioning whether the archetypal forms of our revered icons – whether mythical, cultural, or synthetic – are mere reflections of our own unspoken ambitions, shadows, and collective desires.
These surreal, otherworldly figures challenge the boundaries between the organic and the synthetic, light and dark – inviting us to reconsider the very fabric of heroism in the algorithmic age.
